With anger all around me
I found the strength inside
Darkness was upon me
And nowhere could I hide
Crying out in anguish
To those who might be swayed
The sun was slowly setting
As the light began to fade
Trading change for ignorance
Is not a way to grow
Lost is the opportunity
Of God to truly know
As both participant and observer
To the price that had been paid
I gathered my remaining strength
Stood tall, and still I prayed
About the Poem And Still I prayed
The poem And Still I Prayed is about what I imagine were the final thoughts of Jesus. There are accounts of his final words, but how did he view the situation? I suspect there was some bewilderment at both the fact that people were doing this to him, and doing this to themselves at the same time. Humans have a history of destroying people and things that would actually benefit them. I would hope we would learn from these mistakes. Looking at it a different way, theses are probably similar to the thoughts of many in Ukraine today. Over 2000 years and we still can’t treat each other with respect and decency. We need to do better.
Inspirational Poetry Books
Here are some of the books that are available from Robert Longley. I would recommend the Sacred Poem journals. Reading my earlier books (especially the ones for Military, Police and Firefighter’s families) cover to cover can be overwhelming. The poetry journals are designed to give you one poem per day while you journal about what might be going on in your life. There are specific journals for grief, success, and more.

Inspirational Poetry Products
While I do signed poetry prints that are 11×14, that isn’t the size or product that all people want. Some just want a sympathy card, others may want a large canvas print, or maybe a coffee cup. There are limits to what I can customize with the options available so some products just don’t work. Please just ignore them, I know that that format doesn’t work. If you are looking for something specific, or would like to make something specific just let me know. I’m open to just about anything.
